Where an oxy fuel burning machine operator can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role an oxy fuel burning machine operator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Oxy fuel burning machine operators set up and tend machines designed to cut, or rather burn off, excess material from the metal workpiece using a torch that heats the metal workpiece to its kindling temperature and subsequently burns it into a metal oxide upon its reaction with an emitted stream of oxygen, flowing out of the workpiece's created kerf as slag.
Also known as oxy-fuel burning machine operator, oxy fuel cutting machine technician, oxy-fuel cutting machine technician, oxy-fuel cutting machine operative, cutting torch operator, oxy-fuel burning machine operative, oxy-fuel cutting machine operator, oxy fuel cutting machine operator, oxy-fuel burning machine technician, oxy fuel cutting machine operative.
